NASA has shared footage of the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm capturing a Cygnus cargo spacecraft that launched from the U.S. on Saturday.
After launching on an Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, on Saturday, a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station early Monday.
NASA posted footage of Canadarm2 capturing Cygnus as both the spacecraft and the ISS orbited Earth at a speed of around 17,000 mph. In it, the robotic arm can be seen slowly reaching out to connect with the recent arrival.
